For the first half of 2007, some 2,117,466 tourists visited Vietnam increasing by 14.7 percent compared with the same period of year 2006. Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, has been attracting domestic and foreign tourists for its thousand-year-old history, rich cultural traditions and friendly people.
It has been voted by readers of the prestigious US Travel & Leisure Magazine as one of the 10 most attractive cities in Asia.
Tolentino stressed, their Vietnam trip was timely for delegates to study the historical sites and age-old traditions of Vietnam with 7,300 cultural and historical sites in over 53 cities and provinces.
Vietnam aims to attract more than 24 million visitors in 2007, including 4 million foreign tourists by boosting human resource development and diversifying tourism products.
Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon is located at the heart of the southern part of Viet Nam, between the northern edge of the Mekong Delta and the South Eastern region of volcanic red soil. Being a transformation between the two terrains, Ho Chi Minh City is intertwined with natural forest, vast plains, long coast and hundreds of rivers and canals.
The Saigon River winds around the city and connects it with the East Sea. Over the past three centuries, Saigon, once praised as the "Pearl of the Orient", was known as an important trade center for Chinese, Japanese and western merchants.
It had also been christened the "Paris of Asia" for its wide boulevards lined with the stately trees and magnificent French villas.
Today, Ho Chi Minh City has a total area of 2,090 square kilometers, which encompasses 24 districts with an area of 230 square kilometers and five outer-counties with an area of 1,860 square kilometers.
It has a total population of over seven millions, is the largest city in Viet Nam, and a major hub for commercial, tourist, cultural and scientific activities.
